First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gamification program, along with support from a partner and updates to their doctor, can help 84 adults with high blood pressure and high cholesterol take their medications more consistently. Participants who have struggled with adherence will either receive the gamification intervention or just text messages. The goal is to see if the game-like approach improves daily pill-taking and lowers blood pressure.
